Virgin Mary statue 'cries tears of blood' as 'alleged miracle' investigated

Church officials have launched an investigation after a statue of the Virgin Mary in Mexico apparently started crying tears of blood.

Photographs of the statue, shared by local TV channel Canal13 Michoacán, appear to show it with dark streaks running down its cheeks as if it had been crying blood. It has led to locals flocking to see it, with some calling it a 'miracle'. Local media reports that a neighbour said: "I felt a sensation that I haven’t felt before, like a joy but also a real sadness because she is telling us, what will happen only she knows, it is a miracle and hopefully it is a miracle that is good for everyone."
